About us
Proudly Canadian. Women-Owned and Operated.
Welcome to Dash Reporting Services, a women-founded and operated Canadian company providing cutting-edge stenographic court reporting services since 2012. Founded by Michelle Michaud and Lindsey Byrt in Edmonton, Alberta, our firm has grown from a two-reporter operation to a team of experienced professionals serving clients across Canada and internationally.
Michelle and Lindsey's journey in court reporting began with their shared passion for accuracy, efficiency, and entrepreneurship. Michelle, a bilingual (French and English) graduate of NAIT's Legal and Realtime Reporting program, honed her skills working in diverse settings from the Canadian Senate to international arbitrations across Asia. Lindsey, also bilingual and a NAIT graduate, has reported trials throughout Alberta and the Northwest Territories, and has expanded her expertise to cover international arbitrations.
Together, they've created a company that prides itself on tailoring solutions for each unique project. Their combined experience spans high-profile court proceedings, US depositions, and multi-party realtime reporting with various accents. Both are Certified Court Reporters in Alberta and British Columbia.

They are also active members of the Alberta Shorthand Reporters Association.
